I wrote the following poem for my son in-law in September 2010. He gave my son Adam a new meaning and purpose in life and I felt in the moments before they became a couple, that I might lose him altogether. Luke grounded my son Adam and I penned this for him to explain why. I am indebted to him to this day - for giving my my son back.
One Shared Love
We all need a light... a guide in our lives
Something that's needed for which we will fight
We all need something to take breath away
An essence so precious, we want it to stay
Something so loved it brings you such joy
Like a mothers love for her little boy!
Sometimes that light fades to tarnished grey
You search for the reasons, to a new way
Hating the poison that tainted your ones special love
Searching, hell and heaven for a feathered peace dove
When all seems lost and the grey turns to black
Along comes his hero and carries him back.
